Son of Tito Puente — "El Rey del Mambo" — Tito Puente Jr. leads his own Latin Jazz Orchestra across the world's biggest stages, carrying his father's music to a new generation, show after show.
Tito Puente — bandleader, timbalero, five-time GRAMMY® winner — brought Afro-Cuban rhythm into the heart of American music. "Oye Como Va" and "Ran Kan Kan" became standards. He played the 1996 Olympics closing ceremony in Atlanta, earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and remained the undisputed King of Latin Music until his passing in 2000.
Tito Puente Jr. grew up on the road with his father, more drawn to pop, rock, and hip hop as an '80s kid than to mambo — until the music that raised him pulled him back. Today he fronts his own Latin Jazz Orchestra, performs his father's catalog on stages from casinos to concert halls, and co-founded The Big 3 Palladium Orchestra with Machito Jr. and Tito Rodriguez Jr. — a tribute to the three bandleaders who built the legendary Palladium era.
"My dad opened doors for all the Latin music you hear today — reggaeton, bachata, all of it. I'm just making sure nobody forgets where it started." Tito Puente Jr.
He has shared stages with Eddie Palmieri, Andy Montañez, and the Eddie Torres All-Star Dancers, and continues to introduce his father's music to audiences who never saw the King perform live.
Straight from the stage and from the family archive — real performances, rare footage, and the songs that built a legacy.
Casinos, symphony halls, jazz festivals, galas, and private events — Tito Puente Jr. and his Latin Jazz Orchestra are booking worldwide.
